Coldingham Church and Priory
The current parish church in Coldingham sits on top of the ruins of Coldingham Priory. A modern grave yard surrounding the church also covers the space once occupied by the former priory.
The Priory has had a turbulent history, but the Church lives on, and is currently undergoing restoration (services are being held in the village hall). The marker in the foreground shows the position of the original North Aisle of the Priory - there are several of these markers in the churchyard, giving an excellent idea of the vastness of the original complex.
It is located at NT9038065943 (Lat/Lon 55.886527, -2.155358). You can see this on maps provided by:
